BT - OptiParticleX: Advanced Performance & Smart Particle Optimizer

🔄 Smart Particle Pool System

• Automatic particle system detection and grouping by prefab name, material, and properties
• Intelligent pool sizing based on scene analysis and usage patterns
• Warmup system with position-locked initialization (prevents visual displacement)
• Smart shrinking algorithm that monitors usage and automatically adjusts pool sizes
• Auto-expansion prevents pool starvation during high-demand scenarios
• Advanced name parsing with regex support (handles clones, numbered instances)
• Continuous runtime optimization detects and pools new particles automatically
• Peak usage tracking for optimal pool size recommendations

⚡ Batch Optimizer Engine

• Material-based automatic batching with shared material generation
• GPU instancing support with compatibility detection
• Shader analysis and automatic optimization recommendations
• Real-time draw call tracking (before/after optimization metrics)
• Texture memory optimization through shared material usage
• Continuous batch detection for runtime-spawned particles
• Advanced compatibility warnings (scale, color, texture variations)
• Auto-save functionality preserves runtime batch configurations

📷 Adaptive LOD System

• Multi-mode distance calculation: Camera, Player, or Custom Transform targeting
• Five-tier LOD levels: Near, Medium, Far, VeryFar, Extreme with customizable thresholds
• Smooth transition system with configurable interpolation speed
• Particle property scaling: count, emission rate, and size multipliers
• Aggressive optimization mode with performance-tuned presets
• 2D mode support for side-scrolling and isometric games
• Advanced prefab-instance relationship tracking and auto-assignment
• Force-disable functionality for extreme distance optimization

🎮 Master Management System

• Selective optimization: independently choose pools, batches, or LOD systems
• Performance analytics with detailed metrics and improvement ratings
• One-click optimization applies all recommended settings automatically
• Runtime monitoring and continuous optimization capabilities

⚙️ Advanced Detection Algorithms

• Multi-criteria particle grouping: name similarity, material matching, property analysis
• Regex-based name processing handles complex naming conventions
• Material and shader compatibility analysis for optimal batching
• Performance-based recommendation engine (warmup, shrinking, LOD candidates)
• Scene vs. prefab detection prevents optimization of asset files
• Runtime particle detection with automatic integration

🛠️ Runtime Optimization Features

• Non-destructive optimization preserves original particle system settings
